New Chapter is with the Editing Gang, and news about revamping OSABC

Right now the next chapter of That Which Cannot Die is still under heavy construction. The current layout is more of a framework, another five or six thousand words are left to deal with and the bulk of the editing team is still hard at work. (So am I, adding stuff based on suggestions). I do not think it will come out today (June 30) , more likely this weekend.

In other news:

I am planning to finally get around to slowly rewriting OSABC with the help of slave labor another Editing Gang. It will be in Google Doc format, and posted one chapter at a time. The goal of the remastering of OSABC is threefold:

Fix up stupid typos, issues where I accidentally left out a word, and various minor fixes (Helen instead of Karin for Chakwas first name, explaining why Jiong isn’t spelled like Jeong, so on and so forth.)

Fix up retcon issues and continuity issues.

Clear up and polish the work — make some things less angsty, or at least provide additional exposition.

As OSABC is already massive, this will probably expand it by another twenty to thirty thousand words. We’ll probably do one or two chapters a week — maybe more if people are interested.

If you would like to help these are the requirements:

Functional brain

Fingers

Ability to access Google Docs

Patience

Pictures of kittens

If you have all of these, either comment here or email me at viley@att.net if you would like to participate.

Hi!
Long time lurker here. I am kind of terrible when it comes to commenting at most stuff so sorry about that, I really love all your mass effect stories. I am on my summer break so I got time at least if you are desperate for editors, I am afraid English is not my native language nor have I much experience editing anything beyond my own hobby writing so X)
I am reasonable sure that I possesses a functioning brain and I did finally get around typing out a comment for you so that’s a plus!
